Consider a few facts: Donald Trump is in the White House, despite winning almost three million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. The Senate, the country’s most powerful legislative chamber, grants the same representation to Wyoming’s 579,315 residents as it does to 39,536,653 Californians. Key voting rights are denied to citizens in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and other United States territories. The American government is structured by an 18th-century text that is almost impossible to change.

These ills didn’t come about by accident; the subversion of democracy was the explicit intent of the Constitution’s framers. For James Madison, writing in Federalist No. 10, “Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention” incompatible with the rights of property owners. The byzantine Constitution he helped create serves as the foundation for a system of government that rules over people, rather than an evolving tool for popular self-government.

Quite honestly, if this ever DOES become a country run by Puerto Ricans and Muslim immigrants, there will be a big war. Someone will see the weakness in that government and will want this real estate here for themselves.

That conservative governmental system is why the USA still exists at all.

Read Lysander Sponners "No Treason. Constitution of no Authority". There are only 3 documents in the series. I, II, and VI. At the end of #6, he states that the Constitution created the government we have today or it is powerless to control it. In either case, it is unfit to exist. The Framers of the Constitution shoved it down the throats of the delegates to that convention. The convention was called to tweak the Articles of Confederation to pay for the war debt.G. Washington and his cohorts pulled off the greatest coup in all history.

This should be a BIG fucking eye opener for us all. The time is fast approaching where we will be fighting for our freedoms!

There have been enough examples in history of what happens to democracies and how they become as bad as any dictatorship. You simply replace the rule of one man with the rule of 50% +1, but you essentially achieve the same end results.

The countries turn into hellholes and explode. Our founders weren't interested in rehashing old ideas that didn't work, but the current crop of communists in our schools and being bumped out by our schools are so ignorant of what they call for, you have to feel bad for them until you realize they will burn down everyone and everything around them in their goal of achieving it.

Wow...that's about as ignorant and convoluted as the insanity written in the NYT piece.

Eternal vigilance Is the price of liberty. Speak out and be heard. Be seen and get noticed. Stand up and be counted. Cherish freedom.

I take it that you will not read any of Lysander Spooners works. Your ignorance is showing.

There is enough documented evidence written by those who actually were there and participated.

Reading the drivel of a man who was born long after the original founding occurred doesn't seem at all necessary.

You think he is better informed than those who actually participated in the writing of the documents and attended the Constitutional Convention?

How about all those who participated and voted to ratify the final draft of the Constitution?

You're right.

I'm going to read him as you suggest. It looks to be an interesting read.

Thanks for the tip.

I did some cursory research and I think he and I have much in common with regard to the Constitution and slavery.
